a listed nation

We, dear Americans, are a nation of lists. Ever notice how everybody has a 'To Do:' list?

"okay, I gotta become a better climber by practicing on the 5.9 climbs..."

"okay, I gotta go do this....do that...and then make another list..."

I don't think other nations are as obsessed with productivity as we are. Where does this come from? the top? or do we send it up?

one this for sure...I gotta write more blog posts...if only i had more time and more space on my damn, stupid-ever-growing list...

PS I added a new book to the book list...
